I don't know what was boosts problem. they had some issues with the verification network for my boost cards that I got with the phone. I pretty much had to use every method to activate the phone. Usually Boost answers the phone but today of all days I kept going around in circles. The phone is very sturdy and even with no bars i can make calls. Definitely better than the HTC phone I got from Sprint. ZTE makes good phones and I figured my choice of this phone would be a good one. I would have Bestbuy or whomever you purchase it from do the programming for you, unless you want to pull out your hair but the phone is worth it for 40 bucks and its not a cheap design like the HTC Desire 510 which doesn't even have a flash and has that annoying HTC Sense stuff that distracts you. I had a ZTE Concord 2 from Metro PCS and I would say like that phone, this one is is just as good. And you can always return it if you don't like it, but I have purchased a lot of phones and I give this phone good marks. It just does not have a removable battery, but same as iPhones which i have for work. Good luck.. and you can't beat 35 dollars per month which includes 2.5 Gigs of high speed Data, and make the store do the programming for you, save you the hassle unless you are the daring type.. : )

I purchased this phone NEW as a backup knowing it's a budget phone. As a backup, the ZTE Speed was on for 10 days after activation with very light use. Then it was turned off after fully charged. On the 14th night, attempted to turn it on but it would not turn on. It would not charge (the battery was probably still full). Brought it to BestBuy the next morning, was told it's one day passed and would not take back. Boost Mobile did not want anything to do with it. ZTE asked me to ship it back. So I shipped it to ZTE at my expense.
Two weeks later, received a Speed back from ZTE. However, because ZTE shipped me a different refurbished Speed with different IMEI and different SIM, my service no longer works on it due to the new Spring FED check.
So this budget phone was good for 10 days when it was brand new. And now it's useless despite a warranty replacement by ZTE. Only buy this if you plan on using the phone for no more than 10 days, and very willing to deal with warranty and haggling with service provider. There really needs to be a negative star review system designed for product like this so people are aware of the risk of purchasing this phone.

Good phone for price

This phone has it's good & bad but you can't complain for $40.00
My take is that it is definitely a functional phone. Check email with ease, sure the web, watch you tube etc... It performs well enough I. All these aspects. The camera is not too bad either. I took a few shots a day surprisingly clear. Has flash. The speaker is louder than quite a few phones I have owned. It has 8 Go of Internal memory which is above what many low cost no contract phones which is definitely a plus but.... I was also disappointed that apps can it be moved to memory card. It like. It's you to installing too many apps.
The screen resolution is not terrible but what did you really expect for 40 bucks it is great! I find the battery drains somewhat faster than I expected but then it also depends on. How you have settings. The LG Volt has one of the best battery at 3000 and really does last all day. Call quality is also okay at the most. I would recommend this phone to those who are looking for basic functional phone

This was a steal

So I also bought this phone like the guy below me on 1/27/2015 on Bestbuy.com here in Lafayette, IN for $39.99. This phone has the size I want and speed. The keyboard is normal size in my eyes, nothing too small or large, just average. The "WOW" factor for me was that the speaker seems to be very clear and loud if you want it that way which is awesome for speaker calls or listening to music. All-in-all this phone was a steal for the price of $39.99...would I buy it for $99.99...yes I would if I saw reviews like mine. You will feel like you have a good phone for the price...and yes I would suggest getting a protection plan for it because you are not going to want to be without this phone.

For $20, it does the job.

No, this is not an iPhone or the latest Nexus or Galaxy S. But this phone is basically less than the cost of a phone case for most these high-end options.
If you're in the market for a phone that calls, can download some basic/light apps, take photos, and check email, the news, or youtube, this ZTE will do the job. It's not a premium phone, so it is not as snappy (or responsive) as other models, but the speed is acceptable.
To be honest and fair, I've only been able to test it for a day. Further use and testing will most likely affect my review; should my positive outlook change, I will update.
TL;DR: You will not write a letter home about this phone, but this phone is certainly capable of letting you write a letter and email it without any issues.

Replacement phone

Posted 3 years ago

I bought this phone as a replacement for my HTC which completely died. I had this phone less than a month when it died too. My old phone was going onto 4 years old so it was expected, but this is not acceptable to have a phone for less than a month and it dies. Yes the price is inexpensive and I do expect to buy a more expensive phone in a couple of months but this is totally unexpected and unacceptable. There is no reason for this phone to have died. I used it only a few hours before with no indication that anything was wrong. When I went to turn it on again to use it, it did not turn on. I plugged it in thinking that the battery was dead, but there was no response at all. I feel like I threw my money away on this and would never recommend this phone or make to anyone I know or love.

Not a good phone

Posted 3 years ago

I purchased this phone for my 15 year old niece on 11/20/15 and picked the phone up at the Utica Store on 11/20/15.
It has been almost 1 month since the purchase and the phone has blanked out twice. When the phone blanks out the only way to turn the phone back on is by removing the SIM card.
The first time that the phone blanked out was actually on "Black Friday" but when I went into the Utica Store I was told by one of the employees that there would be no exchanges and to return the next day.
I didn't return on the next day because the phone powered itself back on after the SIM card was removed then replaced.
Once the SIM card is removed then after a period of time (20min-1hr) it powers back on. I am not sure what causes the phone to blank out but it is very frustrating.
Overall don't purchase!

Horrible Choice!

Posted 3 years ago

I purchased this train wreck to get me through while I waited for an insurance replacement for my LG Volt. From the second I turned it on, it was nothing but a nightmare! Self-service activation failed, the SIM card wasn't configured correctly, it took over 3 hrs to activate, and constantly drops the data connection. In 24 hours, I've only been able to download ONE app. My Volt never lost the LTE connection in/around my house. This godforsaken contraption can't hold a data signal or connect to WiFi. Terrible, HORRIBLE phone. I'm taking it back today and am so incredibly frustrated with it's flaws, I'm not even that upset to be incommunicado until my replacement Volt gets here Friday.
